LG Optimus G Pro

LG Optimus G Pro

A challenger worthy of the Galaxy Note II

It looks like the Samsung Galaxy Note Series finally has a worthy challenger. LG unveiled its LG Optimus G Pro at MWC this past week and it is gorgeous. When it comes to software LG included some new goodies to
improve brand reputability including LG's QSlide UI which lets you run several
apps
at once, and even drag them around the screen in small windows.You can
also adjust the transparency of these windows as you multitask. LG is
working hard to comeback into the world of smartphones and they are
doing a great job of trying to make a new name and face for the company
in the Android realm of things.

The LG Optimus G Pro comes with a 5.5-inch IPS Super LCD 1080p screen, the new
Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core 1.7 GHz CPU (which is also used in the HTC One and possibly the Galaxy S4) and an Adreno 320 GPU. The
LG Optimus G has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage which can be
expanded by a microSD (by up to 32GB). The handset also has
a 13 megapixel rear camera capable of dual recording, 360 degree
panorama features, and a 2.1 MP secondary camera. In terms of design, the LG Optimus G Pro looks quite appealing. It has a similar appearance to the Samsung Galaxy Note
2, but it’s not as wide, so it'll be a little easier to use with
one hand and it will fit better in your pocket. This may appeal to a wider range of customers making this device more popular. It will be available in
two colors (white and black). The back of the device is similar to that of the Nexus 4 and the Optimus G; both populat phones by LG.

The Optimus G Pro is big on connectivity with WiFi 802.11
a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi hotpsots, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB
2, NFC and DNLA. As for the networking, LG has joined the big boys with 4G connectivity. The Optimus G Pro has support for LTE, GPRS/EDGE,
and HSDPA/HSUPA. It also comes with a pretty massive 3,140
mAh battery which is removable and can be wirelessly charged. And it will come running Android 4.1.2 right out of
the box. The stock Android 4.1.2 is skinned with LG's custom UI which is similar to Samsung's Nature UI.

If the Samsung Galaxy Note Series finally has a worthy
challenger it will be this phone. LG's grand unveiling of the Optimus G Pro at MWC 2013 has turned heads and will attract lots of buyers LG has included lots of new goodies to
improve brand reputability including LG's QSlide UI which lets you run several
apps
at once. Many of these features do need to be refined, but for sure LG is moving in the right direction with its new flagship phone. LG is
working hard to comeback into the world of smartphones and they are
doing a great job of trying to make a new name and face for the company
in the Android realm of things.
